SciFi Art Now is a book collecting some of the best in contemporary science fiction art by a wide range of creators. The book, edited by John Freeman, includes an introduction by the legendary Chris Foss and is on sale now in all good bookshops.

"It's a young sci-fi adventure set in the 1950s which is well along in development," Mark explains, "involving genetic splicing for warfare, mixed with an adventure/fantasy for children and adults alike."

"The time when only big studios could make big visual effects heavy features has passed," says Boston-based director Jedidiah Burdic, whose first film, Silk Trees has been completed and awaiting distribution.

"With the gathering of highly skilled artists, from concept design, to modelers, animators, and compositors from around the world, even independent films can partake in the fantastic.

"The film has huge potential, and is currently seeking funding, but that isn't stopping us. The team is pushing forward with creative development, payment up front be damned.

"We all believe in it, and that's a powerful thing, when a team is willing to work together if for nothing other than the art."
